SUMMARY
Glycol Ether DB is a colorless liquid and is miscible in water and most organic solvents. Glycol Ether DB is used as a diluent and solvent in resins, polymers, paints, coatings, silk screen printing inks, pen inks, textile dyeing, printing, oils, nitrocellulose, gums, dyes, and soaps. Glycol Ether DB is also used as a coalescing agent in latex paints and as a coupling agent in disinfectants, hard surface cleaners, rust removers, household and industrial cleaners, and water-based printing inks.
